John Lennon, 'Imagine'

After the primal-scream therapy of
Plastic Ono Band,
John Lennon
softened up and opened up on his second solo album. There is still the stinging "Gimme Some Truth" and Lennon's evisceration of Paul McCartney, "How Do You Sleep?" – both featuring
George Harrison
on guitar. But there is also the aching soul of "Jealous Guy" and the irresistible vulnerability of "Oh Yoko!" Imagine is self-consciously luminescent, pointedly embraceable, the sound of cynicism melting. Lennon said of the title track, "Anti-religious, anti-nationalistic, anti­conventional, anti-capitalistic, but because it is sugarcoated it is accepted... Now I understand what you have to do. Put your political message across with a little honey."

Only 1 massive attack album at 397 is ridiculous... blue lines is such a seminal album that should be much much higher and alongside mezzanine . How ray of light, u2, tlc and american idiot are considered better to name but several i don't know. Ridiculously beatles-centric as always.
